THURSDAY EVENING, Sei-tkmbkr 18, 1815. " Thn Tm Iaw how It worlts.' j This ib made the caption to a paragraph copied from the Cliillicotlio Advertiser into the Statesman, and endorsed by the latter, last ovening. When (lie Statesman andtho C. Advertiser attempt again to correct tlio correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, or any body olso, in rofcrciico to the operations of the Tax Law, thoy should bo mro thoy know what thoy aro about The correspondent of tho Tribune ib about right and those who attempt to correct him tiro wrong. The quotation they make shows this. Tho Tribune reforrcd to the increase of "capital in trade nnd money at interest," aa it expressly states, and not to the incroaso in the total amount of taxable property. Tho design of the correspondent of tho Tribune was to show not that thero had been a very groat increase in tho total amount of taxable property, much less that the taxes of the Stato woro in-c run sod largely; but that thero had been a very groat increase in tho return of theso itoms (capital in trado and money at interest,) and that nearly tho whole amount of increaso in the revenue of tho State, would bo derived from that item. We havo heretofore stated, and demonstrated by figures, that the aggregate per cent of taxation, in most of tho counties, luis been reduced; and thus it is seen that while the burthns of the mass of the tax-payers art reduced, the merchants, brokers, speculators nndmoney-lenders havo ma only been comp lied to make up the amount of tho reduction, hut to swell (ho total and increuso the revenues of the State. Of course this fulls on ihnso only who made unfair and dishonest returns last yoar. The Hamilton H rsvliiiious These resolutions have been republished, we observe, in some of the Locofuco papers. Tho Kalida Venture endorses thcin in toto, and wo have observed but a single paper in the ranks of tho opposition that has had the independence to vonturea doubt as to their soundness. The 1' lain denier, of Cleveland, is fearful of their effects, and has full constrained to speak of them in an equivocal manner, as the offspring of a set of men who arc in the main right, but who are inclined to move a littlo too fast. It is (j ii i to plain that nothing but a fear of consequences dut em oven the iMaimlealcr from a full and unconditional cndursoincnt of tho Jacobin sentiments and proceedings of tho Hamilton Destructives. Tho .Statesman has not yet ventured a word on the sub ject. It continues its war on the Banking system, but unlike tho Hamilton leaders, it forbears to make the issue complete, by presenting tho alternatives of tho party. Tho ambiguous allusion two or three j weeks sinco, to freo banking, met with so littlo favor, it has not dared to throw out a second remark on that (mint. Hank Destruction is tho word, and the people of Ohio must meet tho Destructives at tho ballot box with a firm determination to oppose them, irrescctivo of porty dictation and party influences, or their best interests will bo ruthlessly sacrificed, and the State will again bo thu victim of a aeries of ruinous experiments. ftrmpHllilrs of Itloilrm ftrinocrnry ! Anomalous, extraordinary is the position occupied by tho press and the leaders of a party that lays exclusive claim to all the " democracy " of the present day. They profess unbounded attachment to tho mans of the people, the poor and laboring classes, and dcnminco their opponents as the advocates of exclusive privileges, and the defenders of an aristocracy. Whilo they profess an ardent desire for tho extension of the privileges and immunities of tho laboring many, they effect an utter abhorrence- of those who seek to aggrandize and monopolize advantages and rights that cannot bo enjoyed by all. We might adduce columns of evidence to show how utterly inconsistent are their practices with their professions. Their defence of the Veto Power is a prolific theme. Thuiradvocacy of Annexation, a scheme tho benefits of which enure almost exclusively to the peculators in Texas scrip and the traffickers in human bodies. Hut, our only design at this time is to revert to two instances, just presented, in which these clamorous pretenders havo shown that thoy are "democrats " only in imino, and that all their sympathies are arrayed against the weak, the oppressed and thu guilt ring poor. Cassius M. Clay, a high minded and philanthropic citizen of Kentucky, who has shown by his works that ho is a true friend of the oppressed, a patriot in the broadest sense of tho term, established a press in Kentucky, at his own expense, to labor more clfect-unll) for tho dissemination of republican principles and the delivery of the oppressed. His press was violently seized and removed from the State, and thus tho right of property was assailed. Not con tent with this, his own personal safety and individu nl rights were threatened, if ho resisted this trespass on his property, nr attempted to renew the publica tion of his paper at hexiugton. The Whig press of the North, with ona voice, havo condemned, in the strongest terms, this exercise of power on the part of tho strong for the oppression of the weak. 1 hey havo pro pur ly designated it an attack on tho freedom of the press, a violation ot tho rights and privileges gua ranteed by tho constitution of tho country and tho aptrit of our institutions. What, in tho meantime, havo tho champions of "democracy n been doing; and what havo they said to this, an act to utterly subversive of true democracy? Nothing. Nothing. They haw been silent as tha grave. With a few exceptions they havo scarcely even mentioned tho occurrence, much less raised an indignant vuico at tho dangerous prccodent thus established, the stretch of power thus daringly claimed. In several instances they have poured out ridicule and contempt on C M. Clay, aa ono who deserved all hu has met with. Again : The New York Tribuno has had a aeries of articles in its columns within a few weeks showing tho suffering and destitution of the laboring classes of that city, how poorly their labor is requited, bow oppressive is tho amount of labor required and tho nocessity for tho adoption of some measures designed to afford general relief, to remedy tho evils complained of, clovalo thoso men in tho scale of being, enlarge their privileges and render thorn o n-phatically iudcendeut. This, it will be recollocted, is tho labor of a Whig paper. Wo have anxiously looked for aomo respon-w to tho appeals of the Tri buno. A number of Whig journals have copied tho articles of tho Tribune and favored its efforts. Not a word, howovor, havo wo soon in tho locofoco jour nals in or out of tho city, until within a few days we opened a copy of tho ".V. 1. Aetr,w a leading locofoco piper of tho Union, and found a heartless at tempt to ridicule the labors of the Tribune, and to dis- credit Us representations of the toils and su (firings of tht tnboring many. This is " progressive democracy?" This is tho contrast between the. domoency of the Whigs and tho democracy nfLocofocoisui! K.ilarokmknt. The Wyandot! Tolegraph has been onlarged and improvc-d.

At the Convention in tho Putnam Roprosontativo District, held two weeks sinco, a part of whoso pro ceedings we havo already alluded to, tho abnvo reso lution was adopted. It is very plain that Mr. 1 ink regards such declarations as tho above aa silly bombast and declamation. Ho not only refrains from taking any such position, but by resuming negotiations on tho question he shows that he is disponed to recognize the rights of Great Britain to a part-of tho Territory in dispute. Ily promulgating such a sentiment as that contained in tho resolution, Mr. Polk would, we haveovery reason to suppose, involve tho country in a war. Nut a doubt can bo enter ttiined, therefore, that thoso who put forth this declaration were impelled alone by a desire to produco little political effect. They think not of the dilem ma in which they place the head of their party and the head of the administration, by such assumptions, in the event of a compromise being made by him. Monit Countkrfkiters Ahrkstrd. A corres pondent, writing at McConnclsvillo, Morgan Co., O informs us that two Counterfeiters were arrested near that ptaco on tho 15th inst They passed a $10 counterfeit bill on the Lafayette Bank of Cincinnati in McConnolsville. On their persons woro found $.00 of tho 9 time sort Also $15 in counterfeit bills on the State Hank of Indiana; $?! or $1 bogus; and some in good money. Thoy woro both commit ted to jail. They gavo their names as John S, Mc-Knight and David McFurland. Tho bills are said to bo similar to those heretofore described as having been passed at other points.

Thero is a largo Whig gain in tho Senate, and a small loss in tho Hoiiso. One county, Culedonia, has elected Whigs, for tho first time since 1810. Maink. Returns are in from IVJtowns.

The New York News, (loco) thinks this is a bad show for Maine. Off"C. U. Flood, of this city, us wo learn from tho Statesman, has accepted on invitatiun to take chargo of the Detroit Freo Press, This Flood has been a sort of Resolution and Alliilnvitnmker-gen-nral in these parts for a lung time, and his services in this capacity will he muMcd. He has dono up tho principal share of the editorial matler of the Statesman for several years, and only ubdicated when tho Messrs. 1 Ia.kwkm.s took charge of that paper. Nino tenths of tho matter attributed to Mkdaiiv was composed by Flood; and if the readers of the Statesman think credit is due anywhere, thoy should give it to Flood.

Ho fell from tho wall of tho new wing of the Deaf and Dumb Asy lum to the ground, a distance of about fifty feet Until of his arms were broken in two or three places, his fuco was injured severely and there was also, apparently, severe interim! injury. His case was very critical yesterday and his sufferings were intense. He is in very moderate circumstances and has a wife and a family of small children. P. S.-llo died II. is day. A.tuTiiFR. Wo lenrn that one of tho bauds at the saw-mill of Mr. Sullivant, had his foot crushed yesterday whilo laboring in tho mill. (U Mr. Co cull, the eloquont Washiugtonian, was found in a house of ill-fmnu in New York, on the Will, where ho had been for several days. Tho accounts differ somewhat as to how he came there. Tho Tribuno says ho was induced to enter into an establishment to drink some soda-wuter, which was heavily drugged, in order to stu pi fy him. lie was then led away and plied with liquor or drugs until ho became partially insuno, in which condition he was found and still continues. Of tho ffl'tQ he had on his person when ho left, but $i0 remained. His watch and ring wero given up by tho mistress of tho house. Tho Herald thinks (tough voluntarily brought himself into the conditiun in which ho was found. ffySomo ono who is permitted to contribute I Wfaoia sttutcd ! The T jw. matter to tho editorial columns of the Statesman over i () is very anxious that the Journal should give tho public some of the particulars in reference to several forgeries committed by W. Moorohoad, a citizen ot , Jackson township, Franklin county, by which our City Ranks have been defrauded. This same person has been harping on the matter a week or two, and has attempted to give a slatomont of facts. He Heems so well convinced that his statements will not bo believed, he wants that we should give one. As ho has not very freo access to decent company, and cannot thorefuro inquiro for himself, wo would inform linn thi)t it ts a fact that tho said Moorchcud defrauded somo of our Ranks out of several thousand dollars, and that ho has disappeared. Whether they will bo ablo to securo properly to cover their Insees, &lc. fca, aro matters about which wo huvo not felt sufficient interest to make inquiry. The ridiculous statement about Whigs concealing him ! none but a fool would put forth, and wo pass it by. This lickspittle is certainly well engaged in rejoicing over the losses of respectable men, and ho is wclcomo to all tho auti-bank capital he can make, by telling the public that in advancing to a produco buyer, the Ranks have rnot with a om which will connuuie much of their profits ; a Ions thoy would not have sustained, if they had refused to loan money to produce buyers. What would be thought of a man who should rejoice at thu loss ot a merchant or me chanic ? Locofoco Nominations. Dr. Houston, of Shelby County, is tho regular locofoco Candida to for Representative in Darko and Shelby, 1 here is, also, wo believe, an independent loco in the field. MoNTuoMKnr Co. Tho lucofocos of tins county nominated for Representatives, on Saturday lust, John Smekku ami Danh:l Richmond. Sandusky Co. John Rkm. is the locofoco nomi nee for Representative in Sandusky County. Stark Co. Gkohuk Miller was nominated as tho locofoco candidate for Representative on the (ith insL Ho whs hero last year, and will be with us again, we suppose. Ho is a mun of respectable char acter and fair abilities, but managed to make but few friends by his course in tho legislature. We wish him better luck next time, provided thu Whigs do not sec proper to send a better man. lroo4'(l ItrloriM, The New York Tribune thus notices the leading article in tho lost Democratic Review, Wo would not pea It hastily on a question of so much moment, but the reform I'trikcs us favorably ; and it seems to he the only one by which we cun reach and remedy the fearful abuses growing out of Lxecutivo patroir uge: The leading articlo discusses "Political Patron age," and ably urges its destruction by giving the People ot tho several Stales, cotiniies, towns or villages the choice of their respective officers, includ-inn Postmasters, &c. &c. Wcgludlv find one truly Democratic article in lliie work, uud commend it lo universal attention. Tho writer has touched the merer which threatens tho vitnlitv of our Freedom.

On our first pago will he found an articlo from the New York Comiuercinl Advertiser that should be read with interest. Wo rejoice that the citizens of Columbus aro beginning lo appreciate tho value of horticultural improvements. A good garden is an appendage to projcrty th a can only bo appreciated by those who have fairly tested ilia value of ono for a series of years. There aro but few that arc so situated in tho broad grounds of tho west, as to bo unable lo derive profit from attention to the cultivation of a garden. A thousand inineless im pro v omen a may bo mado that cost hut littlo labor and attention, yet add incalculably to tho comfort and convenience ol thoso who aro in tho enjoyment of projierty either as tenants fir a term of years or in thuir own right. Improvements of this character add very greatly to the value of proerly, and if through tho influence of a well organized horticultural society, public atten tion is directed to tho subject, tho benefit will ho felt and seen not only in tho city but all over tho county. Our markets themselves, which afford a very clear indication of the manner in which tho sub ject has boon neglected, will soon present a different aspect, in tho quality and quantity of fruits and ve getables presented ; the (lower gardens of our town will bloom wilh now beauty and long linos of magnificent Mi rule trees will adorn the grounds around our privato resiliences.

Some time last fall, tho Democrat announced that it was authorized by David Tod to say that ho would, under no circumstances, accept an appointment under the Polk administration. This pledgo was considered uncalled for by somo, eto-cially thoso who know that Mr. Tod's abilities wero not such as to qualify him for any office that would be considered worthy the chieftain of tho Texas and Slavery party in Ohio.

Ho is, wo opine, about as well qualified for tho one post as tho other. ' nnrinln find Mnlr' Uirlourf Coming! It will be recollected that more than a year since, in thu early part of the Presidential campaign, a cor respondent htuted to thu public through our columns that Henry Clay had it in his power not only to show that ho was utterly innocent of tho charge of "tar- gain and sale" brought against him, (for that ho had dono when it wai first made,) but that thero was evidence in his possession going to show that the at tempt to effect a bargain and sale was actually mado by tho opjwunts of Mr, Clay, This cnrresjwndent hod means of knowing the truth of tho chargo ho made; and although many may hive been incredulous on tho subject, it will be seen by thu following, from the National Intelligencer, that facts are about lo bo placed be for o the eoplc of tho United States, which will leave no further room for doubt and mis representation. Not only will tho good no mo of Henry Clay bo vindicated, but his bitterest persecu tors will bo covered with shame by evidence that they cannot gainsay : iViiin ilia National Iiili'llitrenrer. A Vindication ami Dislloslhr. Tho public has long suspected that somo disclosure, like that foreshadowed below, would be forthcoming, when ever Mr. Llay considered tho reasons tor Ins silence. whether a matter of honor and confidence, or merely self-imposed, as at an end. Wo havo received a specimen sheet ol t.ollons Life of that greatest statesmin of our times; and at Us patro 150, vol. j, we find the following passage; Miuioerous have hern thu occasions, as all ki ow, when Mr. Clay might have taken the popular breeze, and been wafted to thu highest pinnacle of ambition , when, too, as was thought and argued by Ins friend; ho might have dono it without reproach; when, indeed, it was urged upon him as a duty to his country, to his friends, to himself. Hut, always judging for hmiHelt, ss every man muM do in all canes ol casuis try, which can bo settled only by (ho feelings of his own heart, his answer has uniformly been, when compelled by the derisions of conscience, lo dissent from others, in such debato : I had rather bo right, than bo President.'

C.J. McNul ty is no worso than many of tho,io who assume to lead the locofoco party ot Ohio, but he is more im prudent. Whether belter or worse ho is still a thor ough-going locofoco; and what his standing is may be inferred from the fact that he addressed tho loco foco Convention of Knox County that met afuw dayi sinco to nominato a ticket for tho faithful at tho on suing election.

Insured for IlKKJ, Wo have not met in any quarter a more compre hensive, plain, practical exposition of the operations of the Tax Law and tho reasons which prompted its adoption and urge tho establishment of a system of Cash Valuation, than that given below by tho Whig Central Committee of Morgan County, who havo, in a series of articles, been addressing tho voters of that County. We commend it to tho serious consideration of tho Tax Payers of Ohio. It deals in fitcls, not theories or assumptions; and although most of these facts have been frequently placed before tho public, in avr.ricty of forms, yet they aro of sufficient importance to bo recapitulated until every voter in tho State becomes fumiliar with tho practical operations of our Tux Laws, and is thus enabled, at the Bame time, to refute tho sophistry and falsehoods of the Locofoco press and to understand in what form may ho found the true remedy fur the inequalities of the old system : Ffllow Citi'.kns: We propose this week to examine tho Tax Law of last winter. Much has been said upon this subject and much of misrepre sentation and wilful fuhuhood has been put in circu lation in this county. It is however beginning to uo understood, and as it is understood, jut in the samo ratio will calumny fall, and opposition melt away heforo it It is always salb to permit tho truth to combat error; and in this cose as in nil cases where right is opposed by wrung and fulsehooil, the end thereof will be the triumph of justice, and tho rout of error. Wo here say that in our opinion our whole tax system will soon bo re-inudelled; and that taxation must iu tho end fall upon all property in the ratio of Hs cash value, 1 his is the only equal and true sys tem and will ultimately be adopted. Nu man can upposo an tmnd tax. The law of hist winter is ono step toward equality. The Judiciary Committee in the Scnato mado a report m favor ol a general cash valuation system. Rut tho length of timo required to prepare tho Rank bill.und other measures prevuut- d the system troin being limy digested. Wo uill First sneak of tho necessity of somo change in the law upon taxation; !ud tcha producod the change; and Jrd notice ttio operation and eltects o ttiu law. Imi'ortanck or tmk mkasurk. 1st The Judiciary Commiltce reported to tho Senate that there hud not been taxes enough ruised to pay the interest on the Stato debt for tho last six years ; tnd that this deficiency at this time amounted to one million five hundred and fijhj tltousand four hundred and ninety dollars, and eighty three cents. The law provides that tho Auditor shall assess asuf- lieient amount ol taxes to pay tho interest, vc. 1 ins Mr. Auditor Hroiigh had not done, hence the deficiency. This deficiency had buvit filled by various si tills and time serving expedients. Transfers from tho general fund ; proceeds ot thu sale ot School and other lands; the sinking tund; canal liuui; temporary loun; anticipating lliu revenue; loumiig from (he Stulo Treasure, &c, &c., all thoie were put in requisition lo hide the deticitfiicy. The public debt has been increased by taking portions of permanent loans lo pay interest. It is evident to all, that this state of thuurs could not last. When states, like individuals, begin to borruw money to pay their t'nirr-ejit; their eac is getting desierale. Repudiation or increased tnxiliou aro tho only aliernulivex. Indiana, Illinois, Mississippi, &c, have chosen repudiation. Thu noble whigsiu the last Ohio Legislaturo chose the other alternative , and what truo Ohiotui will not delight to honor thcin for tho step. This Itoiut decided, the question arose; how shall wo best increase the amount of taxes that is required to pay tho interest of our public debt. Here two measures presented themselves. The amount of taxes must bo increased on the present busis of taxation, or, this basis must be increased, so as to furnish new matter for taxation. They saw that the landed interests of iho country wero ul ready taxed ns hi'h as they would bear, uud yet more taxes must be raided. The only reasonable and correct alternative was, to seek out other properly that had hitherto escaped taxation. is the tax law uf last winter does. The fanner's taxes aro not increased ; on the contrary they aro dimimslied from what they must havo been but for this law, and property of vast amount (hit has heretofore escaped taxation Ina been added to the list. Who then should complain ol tlunr' Assuredly not the (armors and working men of the Stale. They am not the holders of the thousands and millions ol cnj-ital, and money at interest that this law has brought ujxmi tho duplicate for taxation. We think that lliu above lucts in reunion to tho deficiency of our revenue, &c, abundantly sustain uur position that there existed a vital necessity for somo change in the tax luw. We pass to thu sec ond point of the subject W 110 I'ASHKI) TMK 1 AX 1AW. 2d. This law was not a party measure all the time of its passage. Let us l'Hk at tiie fuels. The bill was introduced into the nconte, and was reported y Mr. Kelley uf rrunklio, whig, and .Mr, Itis- ney ol Hamilton, loeo, two ol the coiiinulleo on Fiuanco. Mr. Disney su;p.irled the measure, and voted for it on its passage. Our opponents had 15 members in tho Senae; of these, six, viz, Messrs, Armstrong, IMdwin, Disney, Johnson, Louden and Wood, voted for the bill on its final pnsirge. When the act went to I he jloiisu it was indefinitely postponed at first. AfterHrd, however, Mr. Swartz, a locofoco fiom Fairfield County, moved thu reconsid eration ol tho bill. Iho Ilousu reconsidered its vole. And when the question was put on tho final passage of tho bill thesiuic whs passed without a rttruwjfi, no ono opposing it. Thus both parties in tho House unanimously sniietioned thu bill. Let tho people remember that Mr, Disney, tho leader of the locos in the Senate, nsxiird lo report ihe bill : that the locofoco Senator from this district, Mr. Johnson if Perry, voted tor iho law; that a locofoco moved to reconsider the bill after the Housu had unco re jected it; and thst, in the House, no out opiMmed it on its Dual passage. W e freely admit that lliu wings acted with them in its passage, but wo have fully sustained our assertion that thu law was uel a parly measure. Kitkcts or tiif Law. 3. lct us examine tho operations and effects of this law. Wo havo beforo stated that this law places on tlie duplicate a vast amount of property that had heretofore escaped taxation. We will not stop to discusi tho question whether this additional a- mount ot property ought to pay its sharo ot the taxes or not. We think that nu one will have thu bold ness to stand up before the pcoplo and sny that such taxation is wrong. Tho principal items brought in by tho now law are, capital in trado and money at interest Theso aro required to be returned under oilh to tho assessor, and oue-tudf of the amount is entered on thediiplicato for taxation. Is tho amount inrreastd by this law ? L t us look at facts. Last year, in Washington county, the amount of capital in trndo and money at interest was $ W,7 This year it is :tU!,l(W Belmont county last year was 1111,00!) This year it is 451,155 Zinesville last year was 1'-,00G This year it is 5-'t:t,ii7l Columbus last year was U(M,?50 Tina year it is (H,!53 Cincinnati last year as D.Vy:i5 This yoaril ia 2,IW,KK) and the taxes thereon, by this bank luw, will be six ercent on this sum, or twenty seven dollars and ninety cents. Thus wo sec that a given sum ot money invested iu bank stock is taxed more than three. times as much as tho some sum invested in lands. Is not bank stock, then, taxed as high as othor prop erty i Wmo Iax on .Hanks compared with Locofoco Taxation. As our opponents complain of the amount of taxes imposed by tho whig bank law of last winter, it may bo instructive to cxamiue what they havo dono in this rcKpect, in days past when they legislated about Hanks. Ry the law commonly called "Hartley's Humbug," tho stock in Ranks was to bo taxed oi.e-half per cent on tho same. Tins was in lieu of all taxation. Now let us compare this law with that of last win ter, in tiis respect Our law taxes tho profits six per cent. ; tlteir la w taxed tho stock one-half per cent. Wo will suppose that one thousand dollars were invested under. Hartley's bank law, Tho tax would amount tu five dollars, at one-half per cent This is locofoco taxation of Ranks. Under our law of last winter, one thousand dollars (our opponents say) will yield ten per cent, being one hundred dollars. Six per cent on this sum amount to six dollars. The whig law makes ono thousand dollars pay a tax of six dollars, whilst the locofoco law taxes tho sumo stun but five dollars. Now, if our law taxes tho Ranks too little, theirs taxes them less, and they ought to be the last ones to complain of too little taxes, when their own pet measures makes them smaller. Such aro tho inconsistencies and absurdities that demagogues find themselves placed in, when thoy attempt to find fault without reason, and for the sheer sake of grumbling. Let the people also bear in mind that, under Hart ley's law, no Hanks wero organized, ami none would be if it should remain on tho Btatute books a thousand y pars. Whereas, under our law, quite a number of Hanks have already gone into operation, and many moro will do so. Wo shall thus get the taxes in our own treasury that, for some time past, havo been paid into tho treasury ol othor States where tho bills were issued. Reasons roa Strikino orr one-half. Second. Our opponents complain because the new tax law deducts one-hulf from the amount of capital in trado and money at interest Tho reason lor this is obvious. Too entire value of their stock or cash is required to be given in for taxation, whoreas farms aro valued at only a small part of their true value. The Tally farm heretofore mentioned ia an example. It is put on the lux list at about one seventh Us real value. And as a general rule, all over M oh' tin county, tho farms are not taxed at ono fourth their real value. Hence in order to make the taxes approach equality it is nocessary to put slock in trado and money at interest at less than its full amount All there things go to show tho necessity of a total revision of the tcliolc system ; wherein, money, (arms, stock, &c, shall tie entered Tor taxation at its real casli value. This reduction of one half is only another approach to that equality in tax ation that wo wish out which seems to meet the special opiosition of our opHinentH, Tho people are beginning to understand theso tiling"; and when they are lolly understood our views will bo universally sustained. Conclusion. We havo thus disposed of this subject, tho Tax Law; and have briefly examined tho objections that have been urged against tho same. No subject is of ho delicate and important a character as this same suiiject uf taxation. J ho people are very properly jealous and sensitive upon these mailers: and it re quires siecial core to guard this subject from misrepresentation. Timo and full, candid di-cussion will bring all things to their proper light The peo ple uf Ohio abhor repudiation. They aro willing and able to pay all that is requisite to supjinrt government, and to pay tho interest on our public debt All they ask, all they desire, is, that all classes should bear their equal share of this burden, and the slow but certain doom of the demagogue, awaits that man who shall without cause seek to sow dissension and joalouiy between tho different classes of our common country, het a rigid equality of burden be iuqiosed; let all classes and interests bo taxed strictly in proportion to llieir means, and all good citizens will rallv around us, and sustain us in bearing aloft thu escutcheon uf our great Siato, spotless, puro, and Ireu from the taint ol Jtepudiation.

This body closed its sosnion on Saturday evening. From Ilia New York Tribune. A Pnrlf Is Known by Hie t' borne ter of its l.ratli-rM. Under this title, the Jttbany Jlrgus is giving its readers a characteristic view of thu controversy between the Kxprcssand Tho Tribuno, with the comments of tho Kvening Journal thereon, especially aa affecting Mr. Clay and Gov, Seward. After quoting tho Kvening Journal's remarks on Mr. Clay's Alabama letters, the Argus proceeds to say : "No doubt Mr. Clay's candid avowal of his views on tho subject of Annexation and that they wero his candid opinions thero can bo no more question thin that it was but fair and above-board that the public should have them did most essentially thwart the Whig gamo then on fool in this State, and open tho eyes of many Whig Abolitionists to tho inconsistency of their giving Mr. Clay their vote, lint what are wo to think ut the honesty of the partisans, who complain of this candor and fair dealing ? With what faco cun they, in tho hearing of those who it is admitted were thus saved the chagrin and mortification of giving a mistaken veto, undertake to taunt Mr. Clay with indiscretion and self-immolation, because ho kept back nothing? Would they have preferred that Mr. Clay had kept dark, and that more than 5000 honest electors of this State had been betrayed into a hasty and ill-advised judgment at tho ballot-boxes?" We thank tho Argus for this unexpected testimony to tho integrity, manliness and candor of Mr. Cluy's course iu the lale trying canvass. It is all true, and tho representations of tho Argus and its allies lastyenrlhal Mr. Clay was paltering, shuttling, eipiivocatiug on this suhject, were base and infamous. Had Air. Clay been the man they represented turn, ho might now havo been President. But ho chose to be IlKnny Clay, and, fearful aa aro the Country's perils in consequence, wo lovo and honor him tho mora for that defeat which his uprightness secured and a littlo equivocation might havo prevented.But what a judgment does tho Argus unwittingly pronounce on its own tricky and dastardly candidate? Mr. Polk's position on the Tariff question was equally critical with Mr. Clay's on Annexation. Ho was known to tho intelligent as a Free Trader, and secured the entiro support of the Anti-Tarilf men every where. But these were not enough he needed Tariff votes and Tariff States to elect him. Accordingly, he was induced to write one am biguous letter to rennsvlvama, avowing himsell friendly lo some kind of Protection. (This letter puriKirted to bo an answer to one from J. K. Kane of Philadelphia, but neithor he nor Kano dare show tho letter whxh called it out wo have challenged Kane to do it, but he will not.) Hereupon his advocates in Pennsylvania and wherever else Protection was popular, insisted that Ac iruj roa Protection in many instances they claitnod that ho was even mors so than Mr. Clay! Wilson McCandlcss so argued throughout Western Pennsylvania. Jama Huchnn an declared in Tnwanda that the Protected interests' would be aa safo in his hands as in Mr. Clay's. Here was a candidate for President running on both sides of an important question. It was manifest that somebody must be cheated. Mr. Polk's neighbors in Tennessee sent a deputation, asking hitn for some more specific indication of his views on tho Tariff question. He refused to give am answer. Many Wool-growers of Otsego Co. in this State united in a lettor asking his views respecting the Protection of Wool. Their letter was endorsed to him as that of real and worthy citizens of both parties. He re fused to answer! The cowardly reptile wormed his way to tho r residency by the unseat dishonesty and deceit. He knew that his mero refusal to answer would generally pass unheeded in the heat of such a contest, and could even bo denied if necessary whilo any intelligible answer ho could give would unmask the frauds by which his advocates woro winning votes iii some section or other. So he seucred tho votes of both Tariff and Anti-Tariff men, and ia now President of the United Statos. Tho Albany Argus is his worthy mouth piece at the Capital of our State. A word moro as tn Mr. f !lnv. Wo never ntiffht in any way lo "entrap" tho Abolitionists, or to win their votes on any false view of Mr, Clay's position. We never represented to them that Mr. Clay's hostility to Annexation was based on Anti-Slavory, nor did Ae ever give a shadow of countenance to the idea. Wo always said, "Mr. Clay is a Slaveholder; 'ho does not tako tho same view nf the consequences of Annexation that you do, nor that we do. Hut 'ho has voluntarily pledged himself to opposo An 'uuxatinn so long aa Mexico objects to it and so long 'as "any considerable and respectable portion" of tho 'States of our Union, shall resist it. That ia all that can bo reasonably asked of him all you ought to 'require if you sincerely regard Annexation as a 'great National wrong and evil." Theso grounds wore not changed by Mr. Clay's Alabama Letters, but the tone of those Idle re differed somo what from the Knlcigh letter, because of tho mistaken identity which had been asserted in this quarter between our objections to Annexation nnd Mr. Clay's, and tho use mado of this by Loco-Focoism at tho South.

The Argus, now that it has answered its puriose, admits that this was a falsehood, but that cannot undo its mischief. Mr. Clay never abandoned any posiiion taken in tho Ualeigh letter; ho only rejected some unwarranted conclusions which had ocen urawn from that letter. Ho stood throughout tho contest on simple, broad Whig grounds, fearlessly avowing tho doctrines common lo tho Whig party ot the whole Union, nobly maintaining them, and only defeated by a combination of falsehood, calumny, douhlo-dcaliug, rank cheating and fraudulent voting, such as nevor had a parallel. The history of that canvass when fully brought to light, will blast Iho memories of his leading adversaries, who, whilo keeping their own candidsto mum atidaslrido of the most vital question at issue, wero continually accusing IIknrv Ci.ay of concealinont nnd vacillation.

One of tho morning papers lias lifted up its volco iwo or three times, lately, in earnest admonition to all sensible and well disposed citizens who livo in their own houses hired or otherwise to bestow a littlo money, somo of their leisure timo, and a wholesome portion of labor in the cultivation of fruit trees. One of the homilies ran in this wiso: Luxuhiks. It is wonderful how many delicious things may be had from a little land with a littlo care, and yet how great a proportion of people who ue mnu tun 10 uso inai iiiue caro. Mr, t . Grilling brought us yesterday half a dozen most beautiful and delicious nectarines, grown iu his yard on Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, with very littlo trouble, havo hutdlv loon llio fruit before in ill our livci.

In New England, even, with all iu intelligence and sagacity, thoro are plenty of farms where a really good appio is not produced, and yet there might be cherries, peaches, pears, plums and many other things. The people once did something about it, but did not suc ceed well, because they did not know how to manngo mo trees, now trie knowledge is within tho reach of every body, and the luxuriant fruit ought to be. ' irutn, every woru ol it, we have no doubt, l'or the easo with which the tiling can bo done, and the enjoyment consequent upon the doing of it, wo can vouch, personally ; and that it is generally and most unwisely neglected, as well in tho country aa by tho miuuoiiis oi chics, we nave no Hesitation in believing.

Mul the morning paper rolerrcd lo has very truly said that oven within the limits of a city with nothing more thnn an ordinary building lot, or so much of it as is left after Iho building is put up a great ileal may bo done in the cultivation of fruit and or-namontal trees, as well as of flowers.

In fact, a good manager could easily stock such a little garden plot as wo havo mentioned with graic9, peaches, tomatoes, beets, carrots, celery, parsley, minis, sige, thyme, and the like, besides having a few dahlias, some petunias, thrco or four roses iu pots, a honeysuckle, a .Madeira vine, a climbing rose and sny quantity ol'couvolvolus.

What threatened most to interrupt the harmony of the meeting waa Iho reception of a cnnimumcaiinii from (ireen I'lain Quarterly Meeting, a branch of Indiana Yearly Meetinrr, which was laid down by tho letter on account of somo matters involving Iho anti-slavery question.

Tho design of the correspondent of tho Tribune was to show not that thero had been a very groat increase in tho total amount of taxable property, much less that the taxes of the Stato woro in-c run sod largely; but that thero had been a very groat increase in tho return of theso itoms (capital in trado and money at interest,) and that nearly tho whole amount of increaso in the revenue of tho State, would bo derived from that item. We havo heretofore stated, and demonstrated by figures, that the aggregate per cent of taxation, in most of tho counties, luis been reduced; and thus it is seen that while the burthns of the mass of the tax-payers art reduced, the merchants, brokers, speculators nndmoney-lenders havo ma only been comp lied to make up the amount of tho reduction, hut to swell (ho total and increuso the revenues of the State. Of course this fulls on ihnso only who made unfair and dishonest returns last yoar. The Hamilton H rsvliiiious These resolutions have been republished, we observe, in some of the Locofuco papers. Tho Kalida Venture endorses thcin in toto, and wo have observed but a single paper in the ranks of tho opposition that has had the independence to vonturea doubt as to their soundness. The 1' lain denier, of Cleveland, is fearful of their effects, and has full constrained to speak of them in an equivocal manner, as the offspring of a set of men who arc in the main right, but who are inclined to move a littlo too fast. It is (j ii i to plain that nothing but a fear of consequences dut em oven the iMaimlealcr from a full and unconditional cndursoincnt of tho Jacobin sentiments and proceedings of tho Hamilton Destructives. Tho .Statesman has not yet ventured a word on the sub ject. It continues its war on the Banking system, but unlike tho Hamilton leaders, it forbears to make the issue complete, by presenting tho alternatives of tho party. Tho ambiguous allusion two or three j weeks sinco, to freo banking, met with so littlo favor, it has not dared to throw out a second remark on that (mint. Hank Destruction is tho word, and the people of Ohio must meet tho Destructives at tho ballot box with a firm determination to oppose them, irrescctivo of porty dictation and party influences, or their best interests will bo ruthlessly sacrificed, and the State will again bo thu victim of a aeries of ruinous experiments. ftrmpHllilrs of Itloilrm ftrinocrnry ! Anomalous, extraordinary is the position occupied by tho press and the leaders of a party that lays exclusive claim to all the " democracy " of the present day. They profess unbounded attachment to tho mans of the people, the poor and laboring classes, and dcnminco their opponents as the advocates of exclusive privileges, and the defenders of an aristocracy. Whilo they profess an ardent desire for tho extension of the privileges and immunities of tho laboring many, they effect an utter abhorrence- of those who seek to aggrandize and monopolize advantages and rights that cannot bo enjoyed by all. We might adduce columns of evidence to show how utterly inconsistent are their practices with their professions. Their defence of the Veto Power is a prolific theme. Thuiradvocacy of Annexation, a scheme tho benefits of which enure almost exclusively to the peculators in Texas scrip and the traffickers in human bodies. Hut, our only design at this time is to revert to two instances, just presented, in which these clamorous pretenders havo shown that thoy are "democrats " only in imino, and that all their sympathies are arrayed against the weak, the oppressed and thu guilt ring poor. Cassius M. Clay, a high minded and philanthropic citizen of Kentucky, who has shown by his works that ho is a true friend of the oppressed, a patriot in the broadest sense of tho term, established a press in Kentucky, at his own expense, to labor more clfect-unll) for tho dissemination of republican principles and the delivery of the oppressed. His press was violently seized and removed from the State, and thus tho right of property was assailed. Not con tent with this, his own personal safety and individu nl rights were threatened, if ho resisted this trespass on his property, nr attempted to renew the publica tion of his paper at hexiugton. The Whig press of the North, with ona voice, havo condemned, in the strongest terms, this exercise of power on the part of tho strong for the oppression of the weak. 1 hey havo pro pur ly designated it an attack on tho freedom of the press, a violation ot tho rights and privileges gua ranteed by tho constitution of tho country and tho aptrit of our institutions. What, in tho meantime, havo tho champions of "democracy n been doing; and what havo they said to this, an act to utterly subversive of true democracy? Nothing. Nothing. They haw been silent as tha grave. With a few exceptions they havo scarcely even mentioned tho occurrence, much less raised an indignant vuico at tho dangerous prccodent thus established, the stretch of power thus daringly claimed. In several instances they have poured out ridicule and contempt on C M. Clay, aa ono who deserved all hu has met with. Again : The New York Tribuno has had a aeries of articles in its columns within a few weeks showing tho suffering and destitution of the laboring classes of that city, how poorly their labor is requited, bow oppressive is tho amount of labor required and tho nocessity for tho adoption of some measures designed to afford general relief, to remedy tho evils complained of, clovalo thoso men in tho scale of being, enlarge their privileges and render thorn o n-phatically iudcendeut. This, it will be recollocted, is tho labor of a Whig paper. Wo have anxiously looked for aomo respon-w to tho appeals of the Tri buno.

Ho not only refrains from taking any such position, but by resuming negotiations on tho question he shows that he is disponed to recognize the rights of Great Britain to a part-of tho Territory in dispute. Ily promulgating such a sentiment as that contained in tho resolution, Mr. Polk would, we haveovery reason to suppose, involve tho country in a war. Nut a doubt can bo enter ttiined, therefore, that thoso who put forth this declaration were impelled alone by a desire to produco little political effect.

We commend it to tho serious consideration of tho Tax Payers of Ohio. It deals in fitcls, not theories or assumptions; and although most of these facts have been frequently placed before tho public, in avr.ricty of forms, yet they aro of sufficient importance to bo recapitulated until every voter in tho State becomes fumiliar with tho practical operations of our Tux Laws, and is thus enabled, at the Bame time, to refute tho sophistry and falsehoods of the Locofoco press and to understand in what form may ho found the true remedy fur the inequalities of the old system : Ffllow Citi'.kns: We propose this week to examine tho Tax Law of last winter. Much has been said upon this subject and much of misrepre sentation and wilful fuhuhood has been put in circu lation in this county. It is however beginning to uo understood, and as it is understood, jut in the samo ratio will calumny fall, and opposition melt away heforo it It is always salb to permit tho truth to combat error; and in this cose as in nil cases where right is opposed by wrung and fulsehooil, the end thereof will be the triumph of justice, and tho rout of error. Wo here say that in our opinion our whole tax system will soon bo re-inudelled; and that taxation must iu tho end fall upon all property in the ratio of Hs cash value, 1 his is the only equal and true sys tem and will ultimately be adopted. Nu man can upposo an tmnd tax. The law of hist winter is ono step toward equality. The Judiciary Committee in the Scnato mado a report m favor ol a general cash valuation system. Rut tho length of timo required to prepare tho Rank bill.und other measures prevuut- d the system troin being limy digested. Wo uill First sneak of tho necessity of somo change in the law upon taxation; !ud tcha producod the change; and Jrd notice ttio operation and eltects o ttiu law. Imi'ortanck or tmk mkasurk. 1st The Judiciary Commiltce reported to tho Senate that there hud not been taxes enough ruised to pay the interest on the Stato debt for tho last six years ; tnd that this deficiency at this time amounted to one million five hundred and fijhj tltousand four hundred and ninety dollars, and eighty three cents. The law provides that tho Auditor shall assess asuf- lieient amount ol taxes to pay tho interest, vc. 1 ins Mr. Auditor Hroiigh had not done, hence the deficiency. This deficiency had buvit filled by various si tills and time serving expedients. Transfers from tho general fund ; proceeds ot thu sale ot School and other lands; the sinking tund; canal liuui; temporary loun; anticipating lliu revenue; loumiig from (he Stulo Treasure, &c, &c., all thoie were put in requisition lo hide the deticitfiicy. The public debt has been increased by taking portions of permanent loans lo pay interest. It is evident to all, that this state of thuurs could not last. When states, like individuals, begin to borruw money to pay their t'nirr-ejit; their eac is getting desierale. Repudiation or increased tnxiliou aro tho only aliernulivex. Indiana, Illinois, Mississippi, &c, have chosen repudiation. Thu noble whigsiu the last Ohio Legislaturo chose the other alternative , and what truo Ohiotui will not delight to honor thcin for tho step. This Itoiut decided, the question arose; how shall wo best increase the amount of taxes that is required to pay tho interest of our public debt. Here two measures presented themselves. The amount of taxes must bo increased on the present busis of taxation, or, this basis must be increased, so as to furnish new matter for taxation. They saw that the landed interests of iho country wero ul ready taxed ns hi'h as they would bear, uud yet more taxes must be raided. The only reasonable and correct alternative was, to seek out other properly that had hitherto escaped taxation. is the tax law uf last winter does. The fanner's taxes aro not increased ; on the contrary they aro dimimslied from what they must havo been but for this law, and property of vast amount (hit has heretofore escaped taxation Ina been added to the list. Who then should complain ol tlunr' Assuredly not the (armors and working men of the Stale. They am not the holders of the thousands and millions ol cnj-ital, and money at interest that this law has brought ujxmi tho duplicate for taxation. We think that lliu above lucts in reunion to tho deficiency of our revenue, &c, abundantly sustain uur position that there existed a vital necessity for somo change in the tax luw. We pass to thu sec ond point of the subject W 110 I'ASHKI) TMK 1 AX 1AW. 2d. This law was not a party measure all the time of its passage. Let us l'Hk at tiie fuels. The bill was introduced into the nconte, and was reported y Mr. Kelley uf rrunklio, whig, and .Mr, Itis- ney ol Hamilton, loeo, two ol the coiiinulleo on Fiuanco. Mr. Disney su;p.irled the measure, and voted for it on its passage. Our opponents had 15 members in tho Senae; of these, six, viz, Messrs, Armstrong, IMdwin, Disney, Johnson, Louden and Wood, voted for the bill on its final pnsirge. When the act went to I he jloiisu it was indefinitely postponed at first. AfterHrd, however, Mr. Swartz, a locofoco fiom Fairfield County, moved thu reconsid eration ol tho bill. Iho Ilousu reconsidered its vole. And when the question was put on tho final passage of tho bill thesiuic whs passed without a rttruwjfi, no ono opposing it. Thus both parties in tho House unanimously sniietioned thu bill. Let tho people remember that Mr, Disney, tho leader of the locos in the Senate, nsxiird lo report ihe bill : that the locofoco Senator from this district, Mr. Johnson if Perry, voted tor iho law; that a locofoco moved to reconsider the bill after the Housu had unco re jected it; and thst, in the House, no out opiMmed it on its Dual passage. W e freely admit that lliu wings acted with them in its passage, but wo have fully sustained our assertion that thu law was uel a parly measure. Kitkcts or tiif Law. 3. lct us examine tho operations and effects of this law. Wo havo beforo stated that this law places on tlie duplicate a vast amount of property that had heretofore escaped taxation. We will not stop to discusi tho question whether this additional a- mount ot property ought to pay its sharo ot the taxes or not. We think that nu one will have thu bold ness to stand up before the pcoplo and sny that such taxation is wrong. Tho principal items brought in by tho now law are, capital in trado and money at interest Theso aro required to be returned under oilh to tho assessor, and oue-tudf of the amount is entered on thediiplicato for taxation. Is tho amount inrreastd by this law ? L t us look at facts. Last year, in Washington county, the amount of capital in trndo and money at interest was $ W,7 This year it is :tU!,l(W Belmont county last year was 1111,00!) This year it is 451,155 Zinesville last year was 1'-,00G This year it is 5-'t:t,ii7l Columbus last year was U(M,?50 Tina year it is (H,!53 Cincinnati last year as D.Vy:i5 This yoaril ia 2,IW,KK) and the taxes thereon, by this bank luw, will be six ercent on this sum, or twenty seven dollars and ninety cents. Thus wo sec that a given sum ot money invested iu bank stock is taxed more than three. times as much as tho some sum invested in lands. Is not bank stock, then, taxed as high as othor prop erty i Wmo Iax on .Hanks compared with Locofoco Taxation. As our opponents complain of the amount of taxes imposed by tho whig bank law of last winter, it may bo instructive to cxamiue what they havo dono in this rcKpect, in days past when they legislated about Hanks. Ry the law commonly called "Hartley's Humbug," tho stock in Ranks was to bo taxed oi.e-half per cent on tho same. Tins was in lieu of all taxation. Now let us compare this law with that of last win ter, in tiis respect Our law taxes tho profits six per cent. ; tlteir la w taxed tho stock one-half per cent. Wo will suppose that one thousand dollars were invested under. Hartley's bank law, Tho tax would amount tu five dollars, at one-half per cent This is locofoco taxation of Ranks. Under our law of last winter, one thousand dollars (our opponents say) will yield ten per cent, being one hundred dollars. Six per cent on this sum amount to six dollars. The whig law makes ono thousand dollars pay a tax of six dollars, whilst the locofoco law taxes tho sumo stun but five dollars. Now, if our law taxes tho Ranks too little, theirs taxes them less, and they ought to be the last ones to complain of too little taxes, when their own pet measures makes them smaller. Such aro tho inconsistencies and absurdities that demagogues find themselves placed in, when thoy attempt to find fault without reason, and for the sheer sake of grumbling. Let the people also bear in mind that, under Hart ley's law, no Hanks wero organized, ami none would be if it should remain on tho Btatute books a thousand y pars. Whereas, under our law, quite a number of Hanks have already gone into operation, and many moro will do so. Wo shall thus get the taxes in our own treasury that, for some time past, havo been paid into tho treasury ol othor States where tho bills were issued. Reasons roa Strikino orr one-half. Second. Our opponents complain because the new tax law deducts one-hulf from the amount of capital in trado and money at interest Tho reason lor this is obvious. Too entire value of their stock or cash is required to be given in for taxation, whoreas farms aro valued at only a small part of their true value. The Tally farm heretofore mentioned ia an example. It is put on the lux list at about one seventh Us real value. And as a general rule, all over M oh' tin county, tho farms are not taxed at ono fourth their real value. Hence in order to make the taxes approach equality it is nocessary to put slock in trado and money at interest at less than its full amount All there things go to show tho necessity of a total revision of the tcliolc system ; wherein, money, (arms, stock, &c, shall tie entered Tor taxation at its real casli value. This reduction of one half is only another approach to that equality in tax ation that wo wish out which seems to meet the special opiosition of our opHinentH, Tho people are beginning to understand theso tiling"; and when they are lolly understood our views will bo universally sustained. Conclusion. We havo thus disposed of this subject, tho Tax Law; and have briefly examined tho objections that have been urged against tho same. No subject is of ho delicate and important a character as this same suiiject uf taxation. J ho people are very properly jealous and sensitive upon these mailers: and it re quires siecial core to guard this subject from misrepresentation. Timo and full, candid di-cussion will bring all things to their proper light The peo ple uf Ohio abhor repudiation. They aro willing and able to pay all that is requisite to supjinrt government, and to pay tho interest on our public debt All they ask, all they desire, is, that all classes should bear their equal share of this burden, and the slow but certain doom of the demagogue, awaits that man who shall without cause seek to sow dissension and joalouiy between tho different classes of our common country, het a rigid equality of burden be iuqiosed; let all classes and interests bo taxed strictly in proportion to llieir means, and all good citizens will rallv around us, and sustain us in bearing aloft thu escutcheon uf our great Siato, spotless, puro, and Ireu from the taint ol Jtepudiation.

This body closed its sosnion on Saturday evening. From Ilia New York Tribune. A Pnrlf Is Known by Hie t' borne ter of its l.ratli-rM. Under this title, the Jttbany Jlrgus is giving its readers a characteristic view of thu controversy between the Kxprcssand Tho Tribuno, with the comments of tho Kvening Journal thereon, especially aa affecting Mr. Clay and Gov, Seward. After quoting tho Kvening Journal's remarks on Mr. Clay's Alabama letters, the Argus proceeds to say : "No doubt Mr. Clay's candid avowal of his views on tho subject of Annexation and that they wero his candid opinions thero can bo no more question thin that it was but fair and above-board that the public should have them did most essentially thwart the Whig gamo then on fool in this State, and open tho eyes of many Whig Abolitionists to tho inconsistency of their giving Mr. Clay their vote, lint what are wo to think ut the honesty of the partisans, who complain of this candor and fair dealing ? With what faco cun they, in tho hearing of those who it is admitted were thus saved the chagrin and mortification of giving a mistaken veto, undertake to taunt Mr. Clay with indiscretion and self-immolation, because ho kept back nothing? Would they have preferred that Mr. Clay had kept dark, and that more than 5000 honest electors of this State had been betrayed into a hasty and ill-advised judgment at tho ballot-boxes?" We thank tho Argus for this unexpected testimony to tho integrity, manliness and candor of Mr. Cluy's course iu the lale trying canvass. It is all true, and tho representations of tho Argus and its allies lastyenrlhal Mr. Clay was paltering, shuttling, eipiivocatiug on this suhject, were base and infamous. Had Air. Clay been the man they represented turn, ho might now havo been President. But ho chose to be IlKnny Clay, and, fearful aa aro the Country's perils in consequence, wo lovo and honor him tho mora for that defeat which his uprightness secured and a littlo equivocation might havo prevented.But what a judgment does tho Argus unwittingly pronounce on its own tricky and dastardly candidate? Mr. Polk's position on the Tariff question was equally critical with Mr. Clay's on Annexation. Ho was known to tho intelligent as a Free Trader, and secured the entiro support of the Anti-Tarilf men every where. But these were not enough he needed Tariff votes and Tariff States to elect him. Accordingly, he was induced to write one am biguous letter to rennsvlvama, avowing himsell friendly lo some kind of Protection. (This letter puriKirted to bo an answer to one from J. K. Kane of Philadelphia, but neithor he nor Kano dare show tho letter whxh called it out wo have challenged Kane to do it, but he will not.) Hereupon his advocates in Pennsylvania and wherever else Protection was popular, insisted that Ac iruj roa Protection in many instances they claitnod that ho was even mors so than Mr. Clay! Wilson McCandlcss so argued throughout Western Pennsylvania. Jama Huchnn an declared in Tnwanda that the Protected interests' would be aa safo in his hands as in Mr. Clay's. Here was a candidate for President running on both sides of an important question. It was manifest that somebody must be cheated. Mr. Polk's neighbors in Tennessee sent a deputation, asking hitn for some more specific indication of his views on tho Tariff question. He refused to give am answer. Many Wool-growers of Otsego Co. in this State united in a lettor asking his views respecting the Protection of Wool. Their letter was endorsed to him as that of real and worthy citizens of both parties. He re fused to answer! The cowardly reptile wormed his way to tho r residency by the unseat dishonesty and deceit. He knew that his mero refusal to answer would generally pass unheeded in the heat of such a contest, and could even bo denied if necessary whilo any intelligible answer ho could give would unmask the frauds by which his advocates woro winning votes iii some section or other. So he seucred tho votes of both Tariff and Anti-Tariff men, and ia now President of the United Statos. Tho Albany Argus is his worthy mouth piece at the Capital of our State. A word moro as tn Mr. f !lnv. Wo never ntiffht in any way lo "entrap" tho Abolitionists, or to win their votes on any false view of Mr, Clay's position. We never represented to them that Mr. Clay's hostility to Annexation was based on Anti-Slavory, nor did Ae ever give a shadow of countenance to the idea. Wo always said, "Mr. Clay is a Slaveholder; 'ho does not tako tho same view nf the consequences of Annexation that you do, nor that we do. Hut 'ho has voluntarily pledged himself to opposo An 'uuxatinn so long aa Mexico objects to it and so long 'as "any considerable and respectable portion" of tho 'States of our Union, shall resist it. That ia all that can bo reasonably asked of him all you ought to 'require if you sincerely regard Annexation as a 'great National wrong and evil." Theso grounds wore not changed by Mr. Clay's Alabama Letters, but the tone of those Idle re differed somo what from the Knlcigh letter, because of tho mistaken identity which had been asserted in this quarter between our objections to Annexation nnd Mr. Clay's, and tho use mado of this by Loco-Focoism at tho South.

The Argus, now that it has answered its puriose, admits that this was a falsehood, but that cannot undo its mischief. Mr. Clay never abandoned any posiiion taken in tho Ualeigh letter; ho only rejected some unwarranted conclusions which had ocen urawn from that letter. Ho stood throughout tho contest on simple, broad Whig grounds, fearlessly avowing tho doctrines common lo tho Whig party ot the whole Union, nobly maintaining them, and only defeated by a combination of falsehood, calumny, douhlo-dcaliug, rank cheating and fraudulent voting, such as nevor had a parallel. The history of that canvass when fully brought to light, will blast Iho memories of his leading adversaries, who, whilo keeping their own candidsto mum atidaslrido of the most vital question at issue, wero continually accusing IIknrv Ci.ay of concealinont nnd vacillation.

One of tho morning papers lias lifted up its volco iwo or three times, lately, in earnest admonition to all sensible and well disposed citizens who livo in their own houses hired or otherwise to bestow a littlo money, somo of their leisure timo, and a wholesome portion of labor in the cultivation of fruit trees. One of the homilies ran in this wiso: Luxuhiks. It is wonderful how many delicious things may be had from a little land with a littlo care, and yet how great a proportion of people who ue mnu tun 10 uso inai iiiue caro. Mr, t .

In New England, even, with all iu intelligence and sagacity, thoro are plenty of farms where a really good appio is not produced, and yet there might be cherries, peaches, pears, plums and many other things. The people once did something about it, but did not suc ceed well, because they did not know how to manngo mo trees, now trie knowledge is within tho reach of every body, and the luxuriant fruit ought to be. ' irutn, every woru ol it, we have no doubt, l'or the easo with which the tiling can bo done, and the enjoyment consequent upon the doing of it, wo can vouch, personally ; and that it is generally and most unwisely neglected, as well in tho country aa by tho miuuoiiis oi chics, we nave no Hesitation in believing.

Mul the morning paper rolerrcd lo has very truly said that oven within the limits of a city with nothing more thnn an ordinary building lot, or so much of it as is left after Iho building is put up a great ileal may bo done in the cultivation of fruit and or-namontal trees, as well as of flowers.

In fact, a good manager could easily stock such a little garden plot as wo havo mentioned with graic9, peaches, tomatoes, beets, carrots, celery, parsley, minis, sige, thyme, and the like, besides having a few dahlias, some petunias, thrco or four roses iu pots, a honeysuckle, a .Madeira vine, a climbing rose and sny quantity ol'couvolvolus.
